Sudden Onset Severe COPD Inflammation only, no physical lung damage

Body and breathing exercises are of paramount importance. Additionally, staying out of trouble means avoiding crowded places, as they are often full of infectious bacteria and viruses. It also means refraining from smoking and avoiding places where people smoke. All these things will help you to maintain a stable level of low COPD symptoms for a while longer. This will not last forever, unfortunately, but will certainly prolong the tolerable level of the sickness. GL.

Thank you. When you refer to body exercises, am I correct in assuming that you mean general exercise- cardio, strength, flexibility? Breathing exercises meaning diaphramatic breathing?
In terms of staying out of trouble, I understand the risk of crowded places and of course, smoking and smokers around me. What I don't have resolved in my mind is the question of Is there a balance in terms of me engaging with the world outside my home. The thought of living in a bubble and not being able to go to certain cultural and community events, for example, is not a pretty one. I have 2 other chronic progressive medical conditions and,my world was already getting smaller before the COPD hit. This is a devastating blow.
